RW: Spike Lee. Something you'd watch twice. Withnail and I. Something with a bit of a sense of humour. This song captivates me still, after 50+ years. Takes me to the deep South and the poverty of some who lived thru truly hard times. And the powerful spirit of a poor young girl being abandoned to her future with only a red dress and her wits to keep her alive.

Faking it everyday" He could be faking his feelings for this new person because they like him and if he fakes it long enough he will fall for them and get what he wants? He added: "But the weird thing is, we thought that was really peculiar to us and Leeds and our lives".

RW: At the first rehearsal last week, I was so impressed. I liked the sheet music score with "Oh My God" written at the top of it, with different arrangements for the orchestra. It's good that people take us seriously. Five years ago, you couldn't have got David Arnold to spend all his available free time – and non-free time – to score all this and get 40 musicians in. The songs start with an initial idea by me on the guitar or piano, but what comes out in the end is a team effort. We don't have a dominating figure who dictates what people play. I think this might explain why we still get along." NH: Yes, we were asked to write one. It wasn't our thing. It was a romcom. We thought it would be interesting. And it wasn't. But one day it would be cool. Early credit for writing the Björk-performed song "Play Dead" for the 1993 movie The Young Americans. Scored all four James Bond films since 1997's Tomorrow Never Dies. Arnold spent two years producing Shaken and Stirred, a collection of Bond tunes. The album generated the dance hit "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" by the Propellerheads. Arnold won a Grammy for his music for Independence Day.

My brain is not damaged just in need of some repair". If I am right, then the repair he needs is love and someone to comfort him and take his mind away from what he has lost. "Hold on to the basics but we can change all our tactics." Could this be about finding love and falling in love again but doing it differently this time so that he doesn't make the same mistakes and mess it up again? She not only stayed alive, she turned her hard beginnings around, became self sufficient, successful and someone with respect for herself. She didn't let the naysayers and judgers stop her. She's the one sitting in the drivers seat at the end. But, while the city boasted a thriving alternative music scene with the opportunity to discover new bands and listen to the latest indie tunes the likes of The Faversham, Mint, and The HiFi Club, it was also a student town; a hub of super-clubs and cheap nights out. John Smeaton is now of course long gone, and part of the history books, just like some of the infamous Leeds hangouts the Kaiser Chiefs would have grown up around.

Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.

It has the swagger and momentum of a genuine pop classic, stuffed full of smart, catchy songs played with a confidence and brio not encountered since the Blur/Oasis wars." UK 7-inch single [4] A. "Modern Way" – 3:31 B. "Run Again" – 2:40 Charts [ edit ] Chart (2005–2006) To me this song is about a similar situation to which I found myself in. It seems to be about a rebound relationship. NH: We've got a very special cover that we're going to play. But I don't want to give away the gold.Kaiser Chiefs emerged in the mid-2000s as one of the major players in the Post-Punk Revival movement. After a slight false start with their first album, 22 (released under the name “Parva”), the band achieved considerable commercial success with their first two major-label studio albums, Employment (2005) and Yours Truly, Angry Mob (2007). The latter also spawned the single, “Ruby”, which scored the band their first UK #1 in 2007. The group gained recognition for their Britpop and Punk-influenced sound, which made them stand out among their contemporaries. DA: Ornette Coleman has made whole albums like that, where people are in different parts of the studio not being able to hear what the others are playing, playing whatever they want and then mixing it together at the end.

So, not a song about a poor girl, but a song of hope and how you can rise up no matter how far down you started. DA: The main thing I got from it is a great sense of inclusiveness, an audience that's being performed with and not at. DA: We didn't just think: "We'll get Paul Weller and Bryan Ferry and get them to do a duet." The thing that concerns me is that there are vast swathes of contemporary audiences that have never really seen great musicians playing – not famous ones, but people who can really rip stuff up and really play. RW: That's what a lot of people do when they go further in their careers. They get too into themselves and become boring, because it's too grown up and too serious. An engraving of noted English civil engineer and physicist John Smeaton, Leeds, England, circa 1785.RW: That's brilliant. Twenty million people could be watching it and you'll be at home. The thing about being on stage and doing what we do is that it's not about showing off. It's not like you crave the attention. We're doing something for the audience, not vice versa. It's not that we've got big egos and want them to clap along. We want people to clap along because we want them to enjoy clapping along. Just listening for the 784,654th time....and it's just perfect in every way. Just incredible. The only reason it was remade was to scoop up a boatload of money from a more modern and accepting audience. But it is a completely different song than the other one that sounds slapped together in a few takes without a thought for the meaning. DA: I think that's a line of criticism where people criticise something for what it's not rather than what it is, and that always disturbs me – it's a bit like criticising Coca-Cola for not being wine. Sometimes I want one and sometimes the other. DA: It made things a little bit sour, though. It's an award for songwriters and composers. He was being honoured for his considerable body of work and we were at the event with people like The Bee Gees and multimillion selling artists like the Kaiser Chiefs. The way pop music works – sometimes it is loud, sometimes it is simplistic and sometimes it doesn't need to go beyond three chords to do what it sets out to do. He made his views clear, which were: "You're idiots if you like music like this." Can you tell me what I was put here in this world for? Can you tell me in three words or more?". He could feel he was put here for love and the 3 words he wants to hear are "I love you".
